Crouch stands by the "rotation system"

In fact, Benitez had gone 99 games without fielding the same line-up prior to picking his squad for Tuesday's UEFA Champions League victory over Bordeaux.

As we know, his constant changing of the team has been put forward as the reason for Liverpool's lacklustre start in The Premiership this season. Despite those facts, Crouch stands by his manager.

"I'm aware that this is a big thing outside of the dressing room," Crouch expressed to the press.

"But the manager has always had his way of changing players and rotating the squad. In fact, it has worked well wherever he's been. It has worked well at Liverpool and I just don't see a reason to change that."
